Indian stock markets witnessed a rollercoaster trading session on Thursday, with the BSE Sensex and NSE Nifty 50 swinging between gains and losses throughout the day. Despite early pressure from financial and IT stocks, strong buying in metal, realty, and auto shares helped indices close in the green.
The Sensex gained over 300 points, while the Nifty 50 held firm above 25,950 levels, signaling resilience amid global uncertainty. Market participants closely tracked developments around the India-U.S. trade negotiations, which could potentially roll back punitive tariffs and boost trade sentiment.
Investor Sentiment Boosted by Global Cues
Renewed optimism over a potential U.S. trade deal and expectations of a quick resolution to the government shutdown in Washington also supported Indian equities. The broader market tone, however, remained cautious due to ongoing volatility and global macroeconomic headwinds.
Analysts noted that metal stocks led the rally on improved global demand outlook, while realty shares benefited from positive project approval data. Meanwhile, IT and banking stocks remained under pressure as traders booked profits after recent gains.
